THE election on Tuesday resulted
in the defeat of constitutional amend
ments Nos. and ., and the adoption
of No. 3. The country votes de-
feated the first two amendments, and
we regret the short-sighted policy OF
those who contributed to overthrow
these amendments, which ought to
have been adopted. The necessity
of the first amendment has.been fully
demonstrated. 1t provided for re-
organization of the Supreme Court SO
as to enlarge its working capacity
and enable it to keep up with the
cases on the calendar. There are
now cases in that court which have
been ON the docket for tive
wears and new appeals, unless they
possess some element of public
exigency to set them ahead on the
calendar, will not besreached, as the
Court is now constituted, in less than
three or four years. This kind OF de-
Law amounts to a denial of justice to
litigants. No. 2 was defeated by the
country voters because it raised the
salaries of the Supreme Justices and
some of the Judges of the most i'm
portant Superior Courts. The pro.
posed increase of salaries was in the
interest of an efficient administration
of Justice. The best men cannot be
induced to throw up their private
practice to become judges at the sal
aries now allowed. The proof OF this
is in the fact that designations of our
best judges are OF frequent occur
renee, the reason always given
being that they can do bet
ter as practising lawyers. 1t
is a queer species of logic which
brings voters to prefer low-priced
men in places where the highest
ability and the most stainless char
acter should only be called to officiate
The proverbial penny-wise-and-
pound-foolish policy is here exem-
plifed. But we have the consolation
to know that the third amendment
has been carried. That is some COM
fort, and is of great Importance to the
city OF Los Angeles. With thai
amendment we shall be enabled tc
frame our own charter, and thus place
Los Angeles in position to keep STEP
in the march of public improvement
with the enterprise of her citizens.

and trouble, and their trade is seri-
ously damaged, passengers by hum
dreds are arriving by rail withuot let or
hindrance in San Francisco from Los
Angeles every day. There were hi
teen deaths reported from diphtheria
in San Francisco last month. How
many were not reported, or re-
turned as from other diseases, no one
can tell. Diphtheria is contagious
and deathly. Los Angeles would be
as much justified in quarantining
San Francisco because OF the preva-
lence there of this dangerous infec-
ton, as San Francisco is in quaran-
timing San Pedro on account of small
pox. Yet we would not advise it..
We prefer to do what is sensible and
right, whether other cities do SO or
not. Instead of retaliating, we shall
heap Goals of fire on the heads OF the
the quarantining city by making its
people as welcome as the flow
ers of May when they come here.

The beautiful and copious rains
that have fallen in the past twenty
four hours have benefited the country
to an extent that is beyond computa-
ton. The crops were in need OF REIN
yigoration, and these rains have been
timely and beneficial. Ii not another
drop should fall, we are assured OF an
excellent harvest. All the grain
pl anted in this county is now in a
hea lthy and promising condition. An
abundant hay crop is assured. The
vi neyards are in fine form and prom
ise bounteous yield of grapes; and
the orchards never looked better at
this season of the year. We may now
look forward to a year OF marked
agricultural and horticultural pros
perity.

The Flower Festival falls upon us

The Flower Festival falls upon us
this year at q time when there are so
many other important events trans
piring that it taxes our space to the
utmost to do justice to it. The meet
ing of the State Horticultural Conven-
ton at Riverside, the session of the
Supreme Court in this city, the Con-
gressional con test, the two additional
Superior Courts, and great number
of local events that must necessarily
be treated-all make so great de-
mand upon our columns that we have
been and are constrained reluctantly
to confine ourselves''to to the. e.most strik-
ing and generally interesting features
of this gorgeous display of the floral
wealth OF our sec ction. Whilst we
shall stretch every possible point in
order to make our reports Of the festi-
val as full and complete as possible,
We regret that we cannot devote
much greater space than we are giving
to this phenomenal floral exhibition.

ONE effect of the tremendous
freight ates adopted by. the overland
railroad companies is to cause our
merch ants to send orders for many
lines OF goods 20 European cities.
The HERALD Dsyesterday ordered its
agents to send to Germany for
large inv oice of printing paper. Till
this in voice arrives via Cape Horn,
We shall be compelled to pay an ad-
vance of 21S per cent. on paper
freights from the East, and still
further ad vance OF about rs per cent.
to the man ufacturers, who have also
raised their prices. Paper can be de-
livered in Los Angeles from Germany
a great deal cheaper than from the
Eastern mills. If this is thestrue ef-
feet OF the Interstate Commerce law,
it is a strange anomaly in legislation.

believing only a dream these 20-odd years. We
supposed that our old Colonel, Gen. Oliver
Edwards, commanding Fourth Brigade, Second
Division, Sixth Corps, Of which the 37th was a
part, advanced us as skirmishers into the city
OF Petersburg as soon as il was light on April
3, 1853. We supposed those people dressed in
gray that went out Of the city on the north
side as we came Ia on the south were Johnnies,
but IL can't be so, for as many different regi.
ments say II was not. We supposed that Gen.
Edwards received the surrender of the city
from the civil authorities, while we boys went
through a tobacco warehouse, and almost every
boy carried quarter case Of plug" back e
our brigade.
We did not "hist" any flag on public build
ings, but did not suppose we should have "a
refer TO any reports Of general officers TO make
us believe we were "thar" We returned "a

l0ith n. Y, wants 10 hear something of his
regiment Well, / did not belong TO the l0ith
n. Y, but j assisted in burning its camp at
Thoroughfsre Gap about the 25th of May, 1862.
Six companies OF my regiment were scattered
on the Manassas Gap Railroad from Front
Royal TO Thoroughfare Gap, under Col. j. w.
Geary, OF the 2oth Pa, who was promoted 10
Brigadier-G General about that time When
StOnewall jackson struck Bankss outpost at
Front Royal, on the 23d of May, there went up
a fearful wall the whole length OF Manassas
Gap Railroad.
On the Odd or oath our company made re-
connoissance out 10 Baileys Cross roads and
through the country where the rebels were re-
ported approaching 10 annihilate Geary and
capture Washington. We neither saw noI
heard Of a single rebel in arms but the scare
was so overpowerng that Gesry was ordered
imperatively TO yacate, and so hurriedly did be
order out the l0ith " Y that their companies
fell in on the parade ground with their arms
and not a man nor officer was allowed TO &C
near a tent. but marched instantly through the
Gap toward Washington.
Ny company-H, LIST Mich. Cav.-had the
rear. We lay watching for the rebels all night
just below the little village Of White Plains
and at daylight fastened down 10 Thorough.
fare Gap, with instructions 10 burn that CAM

and sent in all directions, while about half tn,
company remained in line for emergencies
| The Captain hustled about and fretted becaus'
! the con1agratiOn did not meet his desire, anC
parties were sent TO hurry up the work.
The boys were not SO timid, and took time
TO examine the most favorable appearing out
! fits, and some Ct them were well rewarded TO
their search, for the l0ith n. Y. was a new
regiment, had moved there by rail and neve
had made march, and any veteran readil,
understands the status of a camp under thos
circumstances. Many officers tents were ran
sacked, trunks turned inside out aud only tn,
most desirable things taken. Many nice uni
form hung on the tent poles of the nice new
tents and were burned without any inspection
One of the boys got large cake Of maple sugar
az much as 30 pounds, aud a Ratchet, witt
which be hacked off chunks for the boys. Tn
writer got fine pair Of Russia-leather boots
very high legs, with the name OF First Lieut.
johnson or Miller written inside one Of tn
legs, supposed TO be Quartermaster Of the regi

There were at the depot several carloads O
Quartermaster supplies that were hauled AVA
by the citizens and delivered to the Confeder

people there that the only rebels that cam
near there at that time were five cavalrymer
